Calculating deflection of suspension bushing

[CR100]

I was curious if someone can direct me to a source to help me estimate the amount of deflection from a rubber cylinder suspension bushing.

The load would be radial towards one side of the bushing. And with a given load I am looking to determine the deflection of the elastomer.

Thanks in advance.

So, you have the load, the dimensions of the rubber in the bush, and the material properties? Is it single bonded or double bonded?

Once you know all that then you need a book with a title like "Engineering with rubber".

Such as

which is free, if old.

Failing that if you give me the information above I'll do that one example.
